Iu Manchester, the failure of Air. Robort Gard
ner, a merchant trading lurgcJy to China, has
caused groat consternation. Several oilier heavy
firms have also failed.
In Loudon, Messrs. Coates A Co., tho buyers
of goods for the American market, in Bread at.,
Chenpside, Imvo stopped payment. Their lia
bilities are estimated ut £100,(100.
Latest from London.—A telegraphic despatch
to tire Liverpool Exchange, dated London, Nov.
4, 10 A. M., says, “iudia Mail arrived—account*
said to be good. Aloney easier ut the Loudon
Stuck Exchange—worth say six per cent.”
On tho Continent considerable failure’s have
takou place; Leghorn, Genoa, Trieste, Lisbon uud
Ghent having chiefly stiflcrcd. The French
house at Si. Petersburg, of C. Riva A Co. has
ulro failed.
Tho application of tho Livorpool merchants to
tho government for aid on the 19th, ia well known
to have been unsuccessful. On the 23d a depu
tation of the Loudon Bunkers culled upon the
Prime Aliuister, aud wore admitted to uu audi
ence. Thoy represented the intensity of the patt
ies tho impossibility of allowing matters to contin
ue without making suino effort to alleviate tire
E ressuro; that the bankers wore Hill of money,
utnot one dared to part with it, for four of a
run nnou him, aud their statements produced
such effect on tho Ministor, that he promised ou
the Monday following, to give them an answer.
Air. Rothschild also visited the Minister. When
tho news of these interviews transpired, u belter
feeling iu the city was tho result. Cousols aud
shares somuwhut rullied.
The interview lusted several hours, and ou
Alonday an ollicial answer wus received, in which
Lord John Russell said s—
•‘Her Majesty’* Goyornmeut Imvo cowo to the
conclusion that the timo has arrived when they
ought to attempt, by some extraordinary aud tem
porary measure, to restore confidence to the mer
cantile and manufacturing community. For this
purpose they recommend to the Directors ol iho
Bank of England, in tbo present. emergency, to
enlarge tho amounts of their discount* and ad
vances, upon approved security; but that, iu ar
dor to retain this operation withiu reasonable
limits, u high rate of interest should be charged.
Iu present circumstances thoy would suggest that
the ruto of interest should not be less than 8 per
ceut. If this course should lead to un infringe
ment of the existiug law, Her Majesty's Govern
ment will bo prepared to propose to Parliament,
ou its mcetiug, u bill of indemnity. They will
rely upon the discretion of the Directors to re-
duco as soon as possible, the amount of their
notes, if aity extraordinary issues should take
place, withiu the limits prescribed by law.”
This suggestion wus iu part carried into effect
—and the consequence wus electrical; in the gen-
. oral eagerness of speculators for a full to btiv in
their accounts tho market became wild. Consols
iu a day or two advanced, uftor the most violent
fluctuations, not less than five per cent, upon
their oxtromest point of depression of the previous
week. Sbures of railways, which hud been ruiu*
ously depressed, rose rapidly. The sugar mar-
ket became more active, uud colt6n and corn ad
vanced considerably.
But this excitement aud rise of Stocks proved
cvptteecuut. After the first general rush of prices
upwards, speculators began to reflect Upon all the
bearings ol the meusuro, uud Blocks became ut
first slutiotmry, uud tbeu proceeded steadily to
recede. Cousols, before the week terminated,
lint) relapsed to about 80 for Mouey, aud London
and North-Western Shares to 147; the price of
Exchequer Bills, perhaps tho truest criterion of
Government credit umi the value of money, fell
to Ids. discount; the Cotton market becuuio us dull
uud inactive us over, aud prices receded; whilst
failures in Manchester, Glasgow uud London still
ooutimio to cause great dismay iu the luercuutiiu
world.,
The European Times says that whilst Bank
Directors theniculvc** uro uctuaiiy borrowing mon
ey ou stock ut Nuvutt per cent, until the 22th of
November, nml charging eightpor cout. ou simi
lar security, and uiiiu per cent, on discounts', it is

be calculated nnou.. The generul contraction of

are hut too ovidont.
The state of commercial a flairs rendered it ne
cessary thut Parliament should meet without un-
necessary detuy, uud the time appointed iu couso-

mid organised by appointing Judge Izard, Pro*

Hanloitar, Secretaries. Two Reports wore
made, ouo by a committee from tho Geor
gia delegation, uud another from a Committee
composed of dulogatos from the Statos of Teun-
e*soo, South Caroliua and Georgia, tho threo
States represented. Having beau prevented by
circuuutauce* from attouding tho Convention,wo
expected to procure from another source tho pro
ceedings in time for this day’s papor, but wo are
disappointed. Wo therefore promise them in our

Tho Convention adjourned on Wednesday.
15?" Tho Rupubliciiu is pleased to style our re
sponse to the nrticlo which charged us with “cap
ping (Ac climax of cool audacity,” os “ calm, cool
and courteous,” and virtually admits that none of
its own editorial squibs huvo exhibited those attri
butes, by saying that it has induced thorn “to reply
iu a similar sftirit of tomporato forbearance.” We
are never ashamed of adopting the •• soft answer
that turnotli away wrath,” iu preference to “ the
grievous word* that stir u p auger,” uud are pleas
ed that our “ temperate forbearance” should havo
acted liko oil upou tho distempered deep of our
neighbors’ fiery thoughts. As their opinion of us
however, is a matter of but little importance, we
should not havo returned to the subject, even to
deny an expectation of “ riding rough-shod" over
“ the defenders of tho Whig party,” frotu “ Har
ry of tho West” down to tho “Feather hed,” to
which our neighbors have been pleased to assim
ilatu themselves. Our object is purer than to
deal iu mere personalities, our gmuo far higher
than tmr neighbors seem to imagine. They havo
fouud that they were mistaken iu supposing that
they could render thoinsolvos “ the especial ob
ject of our ire.” Seeing no ndvantago in yield
ing to ire, wo are not disposed to follow their ex
ample. Nor need they be “ too grateful for being
only peppered u>ith light artillery," since, whatever
may huvo beou “ Iho fulo” of ”feather beds" in
those days of “ casflo walls” in which their orient
fancies delight to rove], we have adopted tho com
mon souse idea of suiting tho calibre of our.gnus
to tho size and character of tho objects upon
which they are brought to benr, und should scarce
ly uso our “Paixhan” or our “Long-Tom” to
bore u hole through a “Feather-bed.”
But a truce to this. Wo say that wo havo an
other und a higher object to effect by bestowing a
passing notice on the remarks of Thursday’s
Republican. It is this—Politicians who cannot
argue, their reasons fettered, while their pnssious
arc free, never fail to resort to personalities.-
“Strike! but listen I” was the exclamation of the
culm advocate of truth to the discomfited but
passionate champion of error. We charge our
neighbors of the Republican with indulging them
selves iu pure personally, utterly disconnected
from any tiling like a discussion of principle, be
cause they have not been tibia to meet tho ques
tions we have asked, and tho argnmeuts we havo
advanced. Their'reason* havo been manacled,
while their passions Imvo been titidimlled.
Their reasons have been manacled, for they huvo
failed to form und express a decided opinion up
on the topic* timthave excited and engrossed tho
public mind; their passion have becneiikindl.nl by
u sense of their own weakness—they have finned
and fretted over their own consciousness of im
potence. Are we to bo blamed for this?—Wo
uek them questions, springing legitimately from
tho j)arty discussions of the day—questions sug
gested by controversies which thoy themselves
had provoked—questions upon which Webstar
and Clay have spoken,and the promineut Whig or
gans of the country havo takon thoir stand, and
they dodge them most obviouslythem again
nud again, dodge them for months, dodge them in
conclusion by venting their spleon upon our
humble huud,aud charging ua with “throwingstones

There are twelve thousand factory hands in

THE MESSRS. BARINGS’ CIRCULAR.
London, Wednesday, Nov. 3, 1847.—Con
firming our last reports, of the 18th ult., wo havo
now to inform you that under the express sanc
tion of the Government, uud with u view to re
lieve tho existing pressure, tho Bank of England,
on the 23th of October, issued the following no-
tico s—
Resolved, That the iniuimnni rata of discount
on bills not Imviug more tliun 05 days to rim, be
8 per ceut; that advances bo made ou bills of ex
change, on stock, exchequer, and other approved
securities, iu sums of not less than #21)00, und for
periods to bo fixed by tho Governor, ut the rate
of 8 per ceut, pur annum.
This virtual abrogation of the bank act of 1844
must, of course, receive theusseut of Parliament,
which is appointed to meet on the 38th inst. In
the mean time thurc are somo slight symptoms of
returning confidence, without however, any per
ccptible cflect on tho produce markets, who:
prices generally roumiu without improvement.
The announcement of the Government mea
sure caused au improved fueling in the Liverpool
Cotton Market, aud prices recovered somewhat
of their previous depression; but the udvices per
Hibernia, received on tho 28tli ult., being deem
ed more lUvorublo for tho cron, a slight reaction
occurred, and the murkut has been dull sinco. Iu
the manufacturing districts trade is much depress
ed, and the number of operatives out of employ
is, wo regret to *ny, increasing weekly. Tho
corn trade is rather firmer, us, owing lo the favor
able season, tho ulteution of farmers has been en
grossed in the field, and the receipt* of home
wheat have boon small inconsequence. We may
now soon look, however, for ubiiudaut supplies,
and prices ure likely, we think, to continue mod
erate. Sweet barrel flour has boon more sale
able of late, und we quote tho best Is. dearer; thut
quality, is very 1 scarce, almost nil in store being
partially sour. Iudiiut corn commands little
attention ut present, hut, at modorato price*, it
is likely to go freely into consumption iu Ireland.
Wo subjoin our quotations, which differ little
from tlioso of the ldtli ult. U. S. red wheat, 40
to 40s. per imperial quarter; U. S. white wheat,
48 to £2s. per imperial quartan U. S. flour, 2Us.

Your paper of the 22d.containing strictures on
Mr. Clay’s late resolutions, I perused with much
interest. Deeply do I rogrot to porcoive, that
Henry Clay of 1847, is not the same Henry Clay
who reached aud possessed the hearts of his
couiitrytnen, in 1812. Disappointment seems to
havo changed the texture of his uuture. I four
ho has lived too long foi* his fumo. Repudiating
ail tho admirable sentiments so often and so olo,
queutly expressed, which bound him to the coun
try, tho whole country, lie seem* determined to
piny the domugogue u'vijLs extended sense; and in
his sear aud yellow leaf, with his own hands to
pull down tho inonumdHf to his own fumo, tlmt
occupied tho wholo of along life to build up.—
But i* not history replete with such exampli
und does it not tastily to tho absurdity of contin
uing tiio worship of tho man, when tho spirit that
first attracted admiration bus departed ? Of whnt
value i* tho casket, whou the jowol 1ms beou ab
stracted ? Tho political affairs of this nation are
culminating to their cliiuux—and it will soon be
come a subject for tho serious consideration of
every patriot—especially at tiio South—whether
they love Rome or Cwsor best. Mr. Clay has
thrown himself into tho nnns of Mr. Webstar,
aud there, I think, he will bo suffered to reposo.

on inspection, tlmt Mr. Pinkard, from tho Com

the exclusive privilege of uuvignting for ton
years tho EtoWuh riyer, below tlieir mills, aud an
appropriation to open tho same; aud favorably to
tiio privilege, asked for, of furnishing tho State
with the castings of iron it tnny need.
The House took lip the resolution of the Sen
ate requesting his Excellency the Governor to
have purchased and presented to Brigadier Gcu
eral Da\i 1E Twiggs .an elegant sword, suitable
to an officer of his rank, which was unanimously
agreed to.
Mr. Walker, of Richmond, introduced resold*
tions, similar to tho above, applauding tho good
conduct, in Moxico, oft Captain William H. T.
Walker, of the Regular army,and requesting that
an elegant sword be purchased and presented to
him.
Mr. Walker prefaced tho Resolution by re
marking, that though bearing a similar name, ho
was not in any degree connected with tho gal
lant officer whoso feats of urnis he wished to hon
or. The resolutions wore agreed to.
Mr. Ncsbit introduced resolutions complimen

duced, and no alterations of moment having beou
mado, I will not reiterate them here. I had on a
moment’* reflection, determined to re-cxamiiio
this bill, and send you a mure detailed statement'
of its provisions, seeing thut it is in fair way to be
tho law of yourcity—but on application for leave
to do this, I am informed tlmt being iu the posses

As usual, n groat many local bills aud resolu

After several days of extremely warm weather,

“LIVERPOOL, Nov. 3.—Siuce the departure
oftho luststcamor, the Government has virtually
suspended the operation of the Bank Charter
Act of 1844, with the view of relieving the mer
cantile community, but tho effect has hitherto
been very partial and inconsiderable. The Bank
of England, notwithstanding tho suspension of
tho restriction, has continued to act with much
caution and stringency, charging generally a rate
of interest above the minimum fixed rate of eight
por cent, and discounting scarcely any paper
under nine per cent per auiiiun. The difficulty
of realizing produce of all kind* continues as
great as ever. Further stoppages are daily an
nounced, and the distrust aud gloom uro scarcely
at »U abated. Cotton has further declined Ad por
lb, owing partly to more favorable accounts of
tho coming American crop by the loat steamer,
and the still further curtailment of tho consump
tion by the closing of additional mills and work
ing short timo from the embarrassing position of
the spinners. Fair Upland and Mobile ore now
quoted 5J a 5), aud fair Orleans 5Jd; middling
qualities 4f a 4), and ordinary 3} a 4J per lb.
The sales for the weekended 29th ult amounted
to 22,220 bulos, of which 3000 were taken on
speculation and 4000 for export. Tho transac
tions for the four subsequent days to this evening
are estimated at 8000 bales, about 3000 for export
but no speculation. Tho stock in this port now
amounts to about 420,000 bales, against 570,000
at same period last season. The stock of Amer
ican is about 308,000, being a decreaso of 80,000
boles. Tho Corn trade is the only one which
shows the slightest] animation, but in this there
has been o reaction the last few days, and an ad
vance to 29s to 29s 6 per bbl. for fresh Western
Canal Flour, and Philadelphia and Baltimore are
quoted 27a 6 to 28s Q; sour 21s to 23s per bbl.
Indian corn has also improved and is to-day quo
ted 30s a 35s per quarter, chiefly selling at 32s u
33s for fair sound parcels. Indian Corn Meal
15s a 15s 6 per bbl. and the best generally now
held at 18s, at which some small soles have been
made.”
“LIVERPOOL, Nov. 3.—The Cotton markot
is much depressed and we only guess at quota
tions the demand is so small. In Manchester
Goods are lower than ever before, aud confi
dence so shaken that hardly any soles are mode,
there was on Tuesday rather more enquiiy.—
Yarns ore higher in proportion than goods, and
if sales could bo affected, would cover cost.
“Rice, Carolina 17* a 23* perewt.”
“LIVERPOOL, Nov. 4,—Tho Govommont
permitted the Bank of England to relax the law
of1844, so as to discount all good papor at u mini
mum rate of 8 per ceut. This move will save
many very solvent firms, that otherwise must
have come to a steud, bat there has arisen no ben
eficial change in the general trado of tliq country.
Immediately after tho announcement ofjhe above
tact, Cotton rose }d a Jd. por lb., but it has again
receded to the previous level, and fair Upland
brings no higher rate than 4Jd. which in July
were worth 7|d. a 7^.—prices fell idr per lb. yes
terday. The report for Manchester yesterday is.
‘there was one enquiry for Goods, but the bnsi-
nessdone was small, at extreme low quotations.’
Consols 81| > 82. Discount* 8 a 19 pel- cent,
according to the style of paper. There will be
a public sale of 1500 White and 700 8tained Sea
Islands on Friday next. For the late imports of
